7. The downsides have already been written in other reviews -- the hotel is a long block off the strip, it`s tough to get a cab and the u-turn back to the strip is annoying (maybe faster to walk through Bally`s actually), service (especially room service) can be extremely slow, there`s no casino nor huge choice of restaurants like you`d find in a strip hotel, there`s only valet parking, it`s strictly no smoking and the hotel is generally kind of quiet.
